    I confirmed this in a separate thread, but for those that missed it, we managed to raise £1,300 for Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust and the Barnsley Pals memorial repairs.

    Thanks to all who frequented Redfearn's Bar in the FanZone for the Open Day. Was a busy one but more than worth it when you can make announcements like this. A great follow up to the £1k we donated to Drinkers for Ukraine at the end of last season.

    Me and my family got a round in, there was always a very long queue at the bar, people running it must have been shattered, it was boiling hot as well, all done by volunteers if I’m not wrong, tremendous effort by all involved! Doing the club and town proud.

    Was our busiest ever day. All volunteers and all shattered come 9pm when we finally parked the van under the East Stand concourse. Good fun though other than a 30 minute spell where the heat took it's toll on the Lost Lager line.......

    It was the fist time I’d tried Planet Pale, went down a treat, those tin pint pots are ace as well. I must admit I pocketed mine, gave it a clean when I got home, put it in the freezer overnight and then the next day had a lovely cold Elvia Juice in it in the garden :D Hope that’s ok, happy to make a donation if not!! I feel quite guilty now!!!

    Don't think you were the only one :D They are good though and minimized the use of throw away plastic. (We still had to use them for the hand pull as it's difficult to see where the head of the pint is)

    Someone tweeted us at 4pm with a picture of his pint pot saying 'They're bang on these'.

    He was sat on his decking at home...

    Definitely better than plastic, they look classy as well. Hopefully there not eating into profits too much.

    Loads of insight that it improves beer quality, repeat purchase, guest satisfaction. The ones used at the new LA Rams stadium are ace!

    Ball, the company that make them, sponsor the college football stadium in Denver/Colorado.

    The Planet Pale was the first remarkable pint I've had at/in The Well.

    Gorgeous.

    Sullen bunch of losers serving it though - where did they get them from?

    The dregs of hospitality I've heard. Can't get a gig anywhere else.

    Walked past the memorial today and it doesn't look like any repairs have been done as yet. Blank spaces where the plaques once stood.
    I wouldn't have thought the original manufacturer would take over 6 months to produce 4 replacement glass plaques.

    I seem to think we.only recently got an email from them stating they had hit the target and we're actually now in the position to repair and enhance the memorial
